I thought you were south of the city where the snow hole was last winter? North Pgh and I's readings are almost always consistent. Not trying to antagonize, just looking for a data point.
Measured 8.5" here in Ross before the sun came out.
I'd give this winter a B- overall with C being average. Now onto the spring thread starting Monday. Let's go thunderstorms!
I’m quite happy to have a smaller chance (but not no chance) at gigantic winter storms for not having the hellacious heat in the summer. The only better place for the combination is north of the I-80 snow belt in NWPA, but it has many other drawbacks even if the weather is going for it.
Changed to snow here around 645am and the grass is covered and still snowing fairly good.
Sneaky few inches I think. Great surprise. I’m not holding out hope for Saturday, but after that it looks pretty consistently in the 50-60 degrees for a pivot to spring.
Sir, the NWS (which I guarantee has more experts than your backyard) did not downgrade the warning to an advisory, regardless of whatever criteria you think you know better than the officials.
It was a warning. Get over it.
Fair, which we had last year. But on the flip side, winter was done mid Feb last year aside from a one-off.
No denying December was a big let down, but I suppose Jan/early Feb has made up for that for me.
Given we're near yearly top 10 territory of really decent snowpack with that stat, that alone puts it at a B+ floor for me. One big wallop of 8"+ would push it to A in my book.
Shoveled the 2-3” this afternoon in Ross. Interesting observation - the surfaces that got sun on Weds/Thurs had slush underneath. The ones that did not had ice. Probably about a half inch of sleet on the ground.
